I'm so sorry about Olive! Please accept my sincerest sympathy for your loss.

Your thread has helped me immensely. I have had Lulu for a month, and I'm so deeply in love with her already, and I am worried sick about having her spayed. Because of this site, I made sure I found a highly recommended vet and made an appt. They asked if I wanted to go ahead and schedule the spay, and I said no. I just wanted to confer and get her a check up. The vet was awesome. Lulu is 6 months and 1 week old, weighs 2.7 lbs., and he said she wasn't ready to be spayed. She still has a little soft spot on her head, which he said, felt like it was trying to close, and also, she still has baby teeth. He said he wants her to lose the baby teeth and many were loose, but said nothing about pulling them. He said he wants her to lose the baby teeth before he spays her, and to bring her back in 2 months. He didn't say anything about the first heat and did not give me a sense of urgency at all. I told him I was worried about having her spayed because of her size, and he said he highly recommends having it done, but he never specified "when". So, now I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the baby teeth and time of spay? This thread is the first I have heard of pulling them. Do Yorkies not lose them easily? Is pulling them common?
